Energy: Payments
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, what steps his Department is taking to reduce curtailment payments.
Answered by Michael Shanks
As set out in our Clean Power 2030 Action Plan, and in line with the National Energy System Operator’s advice published in November, the Government is working to develop the necessary grid infrastructure and manage the level of constraints to create a cheaper and secure energy system for Britain. The Government is working with Ofgem, the National Energy System Operator, and the transmission owners to ensure accelerated delivery of critical projects, including through reforms to the planning system, unlocking supply chains and mobilising the investment and streamlining regulatory processes.
